The NE555 / LM555 is a classic 8‑pin timer oscillator IC, capable of stable timing, pulse generation, and flip‑flop operation. With a supply range of 4.5–15 V, it can source or sink up to 200 mA, making it highly versatile in analog and digital designs.
The 7490 / 74LS90 IC is a 4-bit binary decade counter with divide-by-2 and divide-by-5 counter sections. Packaged in DIP-14, it is widely used in digital clocks, frequency dividers, timers, and digital systems.
The CD4033B is a CMOS decade counter and 7‑segment driver IC combining a 5‑stage Johnson counter with a 7‑segment decoder within a single 16-pin DIP or SOP package. It delivers counted outputs and decoded segment drivers, featuring ripple-blanking and lamp test support — ideal for numeric display interfaces.
